Key Policy Issues
Our Illawarra-Shoalhaven Strategy for 2019-20 details what we want to achieve in the region.
The five key policy priorities are:
-
Housing affordability – fair and reasonable infrastructure charges
-
Development certainty – consistent application of policies and controls
-
Transformation – investment in rail connections to Sydney CBD and Western Sydney
-
Infrastructure delivery – alignment with growth, and catalyst funding for key missing pieces identified in our Building Blocks Illawarra-Shoalhaven
-
Housing choice – more medium density and small lots

Events in the Region
UDIA holds four paid events in the Illawarra each year with high profile speakers from the industry discussing issues important to the region. We also host free Developer Forums with the local councils each year to discuss key issues for the industry.
